Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group

Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

autism and immunizations...

ok so second part of my question... and this may sound dumb but i need specific answers to my questions concerning immunizations and autism. what is the link? how do immunizations cause autism? i am still not sure this is what caused camerons autism because i was given so many drugs when i was pregnant. things i know could be the reason he is the way he is today. but as i said in an earlier post, he is constantly sick. if his immunizations are whats bringing his immune system down and causing this due to his autism, please help me with info regarding this. i dont have much help. and sometimes doctors language sends me in circles. in no way am i dumb or illiterate but sometimes my brain goes on overload! thanks ladies!

it has been discussed that the mercury in vaccines particularly thirmisal was a culprit in the uprising of autism. Now the vaccines are thirmisal free with the exception of the flu vaccine which still has it. the flu mist does not. As to getting a definate answer on that, I don't think we will ever know but for me the time frame between the vaccinations and my son's diagnosis was too coincidental. sam's behavior started soon after the vaccinations. it's just my story and this is what I think regarding my son.

I don't believe it, but many do. I've accepted that theres no cure and not going to stress over finding the reason how my son got it. I just carry on and treat him like day one and love and support him the best I can.

sweets, I've been dealing with this six years this sunday ( i cannot believe sam will be 10)
I spent the first two years trying to figure out why, was it something I did, was it the shots, and while I do believe for me personally that the vaccines did play a part in it; I truly don't believe anyone will ever give us an answer on what caused it and while I think research is great, I also believe that too many people are going in too many directions with it and that takes away from getting more doctors and services. I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

While thirmisol is no longer in vaccines there are other toxins...By overloading a child with over 20 plus vaccinations b4 the age of 2 is a little concerning to me. This is a lot to throw into a immune system that is not even close to fully developed. This i believe will actually lower the childs immune system effectiveness in the first 3 years.

Technically there still is thimerosal in all vaccines. It's just that they are able to say, &quot;in trace amounts&quot; and as such they count as &quot;thimerosal free&quot; just like products can say they are &quot;fat free&quot; if they only contain a certain percentage of fat. There are still horrible toxins in the vaccines and the &quot;viruses&quot; live or dead along with those other toxins surpress the immune system, which is why doctors will tell you that it is common or normal to have a fever after the injection. There are many message boards out there that spend a lot of time researching this topic. I happen to be a member of one. IT is awfully scary what we have been encouraged to inject into our children simply based on faith. We often go thru life with blinders on and hope that there are others out there looking after our best interests, however once one opens their eyes... Well I for one have a lot of guilt, and feel very foolish for just &quot;going with the flow&quot; as it were..

thanks my friends. im not trying to put blame on any one thing in particular. Im just trying to find a way to stop all this sickness with my son. Im so afraid he will develop an immunity to all these antibiotics hes getting constantly. it bothers me.
